On OpenStreetMap, there’s an emergency=defibrillator object. It can be tagged with information like opening hours (e.g. if it’s inside a location that’s only open certain hours), a description of the location (“at the front desk”), etc.

For example, on the Android/iOS app OsmAnd, you can select ‘Defibrillator’ as a point of interest (POI) Additionally, choosing ‘Healthcare’ POI type will show not just hospitals, clinics, etc., but also AED locations.

Other emergency devices, like emergency phones, are also mappable.


Why YSK: quick access to defibrillators can save lives and significantly improve quality-of-life outcomes. The more complete this data is, the more useful somebody can actually expect it to be in an emergency. Even if the data isn’t queried during the emergency, seeing it on the map could help users know where they are ahead of time.

    Then prove it with hard data.

    Your “feelings“ do not equate to hard data.

    Prove it with proof and evidence. show me statistics that prove what you claim.

    Because after every statistical review over the last hundred years of reviews of statistical data, your claims do not bare out.

    you want me to believe your claims? PROVE IT!

    Edit: tantrums, tears, and downvotes are not proof, lol

      I can’t figure out if you are hating on OSM or AEDs, but either one seems like an odd hill to die on. Particularly since neither of them are 100 years old.

        So you admit that you don’t have proof.

        Downvote me all you like, but I’m still right

          Proof of what? I didn’t make any claims, I just stated that I can’t figure out if you are being mad about AEDs, OSM, or something else.

          Ok, well, I guess I did claim that neither OSM or AEDs are 100 years old. Both of which are easy to verify as the computer necessary for OSM didn’t exist in 1926, and the first AED wasn’t invented until the late 1970’s according to Wikipedia.

          Past that, what the fuck are you talking about?

      after every statistical review over the last hundred years of reviews of statistical data, your claims do not bare out.

      Can you link one of many statistical reviews that you are mentioning?

          … you literally claimed there’s hundreds of years of statistical proof.

          Is it proof or is it common sense?

          You’re a terrible troll, can’t even write a sensical comment.
